Mat Kearney于1978年12月1日出生。能写善唱的Mat Kearney从在加州大学读书的时候就开始了自己的音乐生涯，在那里他进修文学而且还是足球队的主力球员。本来的目的仅仅是夏季采风吸取灵感写些歌，可出乎意料有唱片邀约，Kearney决定留在田纳西随即开始了专业音乐生涯，他钟爱把Hip-Hop和民谣夹杂入流行的曲调，在2004年Kearney在家独立厂牌下出版了第一张专辑《Bullet》，06年加盟了主流厂牌哥伦比亚唱片后第二张专辑《Nothing Left to Lose》问世，这张在纳仕维尔Dark Horse Studio录制的专辑，为Kearney稍稍淡化Hip-Hop的押韵，更多的专注于吉他的演奏上，旋律性更强。

歌曲：Sooner Or Later
演唱：Mat Kearney

We’re all standing with our backs against the wall
Sooner or later
Waiting on a phone that never calls, at all
Heartbreak comes, rollin’ in like a storm
Sooner or later
Trying to swim but you’re sinking like a stone, alone
And I can feel fire in the night waiting here
Baby it’s like we’re walking on a wire through the fear
Take my hand, we’ll get there
Sooner or later, I swear we’re gonna make it, we’re gonna make it,
Sooner or later, I swear we’re gonna make it, we’re gonna make it
Milk and honey ’til we get our fill
I’ll keep chasing it, I always will
Sooner or later, I swear
We’ll make it there
Sooner than later
We’re all waiting on a dream that’s hard to own, sooner or later
Trying to feel the high without the low, you know
You can feel fire in the night lying here
Baby it’s like we’re walking on a
wire through the fear
Take my hand, we’ll get there
The fear inside, the hills we’ve climbed
The tears this side of
heaven, all these dreams inside of me
I swear we’re gonna get there
